Misheard lyrics

[fuzzyjay]

Back in the days before the Intarwebs, you couldn't always get the lyrics of popular songs except by actually buying the record album, which frequently had the lyrics printed on the cover or on the record sleeve.

I used to mishear Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" line which goes:

When the working day is done

as:

What in the world can they have done

And another song that went:

Oh what a lonely boy

as:

Oh what a lovely war

You got any like that?

I was, and still am a massive Marc Bolan fan.
In Telegram Sam he sings:
"Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright, he's a natural born poet he's just outta sight."

I used to think it was:

"Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright, he's a natural born homo he's just outta sight"

I still hear it that way.
